Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
In November 2020, the Company’s board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program, which went into effect in September 2021 following the consummation of the 2021 Merger, or the September 2021 Share Repurchase Program. Under the September 2021 Share Repurchase Program, the Company is permitted to repurchase up to $100 in the aggregate of its outstanding common stock in the open market at prices below the then-current net asset value per share. The timing, manner, price and amount of any share repurchases was determined by the Company based upon the evaluation of economic and market conditions, the Company’s stock price, applicable legal and regulatory requirements and other factors. The September 2021 Share Repurchase Program is expected to be in effect for one year from the effective date, unless extended, or until the aggregate repurchase amount that has been approved by the Company’s board of directors has been expended, or the plan otherwise terminates pursuant to its terms. The September 2021 Share Repurchase Program does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and the Company cannot assure stockholders that any shares will be repurchased under the program. The September 2021 Share Repurchase Program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company repurchased 1,072,263 shares of common stock pursuant to the September 2021 Share Repurchase Program at an average price per share (inclusive of commissions paid) of $21.14 (totaling $23). During the period from July 1, 2022 to July 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 241,847 shares of common stock pursuant to the September 2021 Share Repurchase Program at an average price per share (inclusive of commissions paid) of $20.61 (totaling $5).
As previously disclosed, certain affiliates of the owners of the Advisor committed $100 to a $350 investment vehicle, or the Affiliated Purchaser, that may invest from time to time in shares of the Company. In September 2021, that investment vehicle entered into a written trading plan with a third party broker in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or the September 2021 Affiliated Purchaser Program, to facilitate the purchase of shares of our common stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of such plan. The September 2021 Affiliated Purchaser Program provides for the purchase of up to $100 worth of shares of our common stock, subject to the limitations provided therein. The September 2021 Affiliated Purchase Program has concluded since the aggregate repurchase amount under the plan has been expended.
In December 2021, that investment vehicle entered into a written trading plan with a third party broker in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or the December 2021 Affiliated Purchaser Program and, together with the September 2021 Affiliated Purchaser Program, the Affiliated Purchaser Program, to facilitate the purchase of shares of our common stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of such plan. The December 2021 Affiliated Purchaser Program provided for the purchase of up to $70 worth of shares of our common stock, subject to the limitations provided therein. The December 2021 Affiliated Purchaser Program has concluded since the aggregate repurchase amount under the plan has been expended.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Affiliated Purchaser Program purchased 3,100,501 shares of common stock at an average price per share (inclusive of commissions paid) of $21.93 (totaling $68).
